My want of no storms (severe) is stronger than James want of storms and they have missed our path nicely… probably split around the mountain as they have known to do in the past…

Gee..some red and black….
And dryish washing..…

yep I must be jinxed, so many storms and all straight past either side, not a drop of rain!

Yeah... a bit meh. Like there's a forcefield. Got a nice downpour but most cells go east or west of us, or come towards me, die, and then redevelop once they pass my area

Sorry team
23mm in roughly 20 minutes here today
Round 4 about to start...crazy thunder

Nasty cell headed this way

5 drops...annnnd its gone! (again)

amazing how they keep tracking (or not) over the same path over and over today what is causing that to happen?

Just going through round 4 for the day here. Massive rain rates in this drenched atmosphere. The 3pm cell dumped 12mm in 5 mins! Flash flooding all around Elwood and area. Just hit 50mm for the event since it started early this morning. Cells just materialising out of nowhere at times.

I think the Bay has an effect (just an educated guess)

Seems to be over almost. Wind has turned a cooler southerly,l. Port philip bay surely needs a drink of water, so glad they're copping it

Round 5 here ...pouring rain
No more...flooding...gutters..not coping

Another round of heavy rain, initially near continuous thunder which abated when the rain hit. Now 41mm for the day.

Felt like there was a microburst in bayside earlier riding home torrential in Elwood and trees down and firies pumping out properties in Brighton with trees down - one across the tracks at middle Brighton station - and a real mess.

Crazy system out there. Melbourne humidity record was comprehensively broken this morning by 0.6C, so no surprise the cells have been absolute dumpers. Lots of spots scored 25mm in around 20 minutes today, though small size meant plenty of people missed the best of it. Down here in Tas just murk and rain. Cloud basically at sea level with rain, drizzle and fog. Solid falls in the north with quite a few topping 30mm, but only light in the south.

This parts starting to clear for Victoria, but round two is now inbound for Tasmania. Should be a wet day for Tasmania tomorrow. Then the biggest part develops for Saturday. That’s gonna have nasty storms and rain for Victoria, and heavy rain down here, possibly flooding. The low is one of the meanest I’ve seen in a while. There is then another low for Monday into Tuesday. Crazy getting more weather in a week than we’ve had for about three months

47mm for the event
Hopefully that’s it for the real heavy stuff
I don’t mind rain but my humble abode can’t cope with those dumpers
I get the feeling this type of torrential rain is the new norm with the warming Oceans

Unfortunately I've been indoors during all the action today at work.

However I can report my PWS at home in Truganina recorded a total of 45.8mm. About 23 km directly west of the CBD. Great totals for this area!

Drier air for Victoria today so expecting fine or nearly so. Quite hot air so will be toastie away from sea breezes. Much moister over Tasmania with heavy rain in the north and showers, drizzle and fog in the south. Friday then looks like a bit of an inbetween day before the big ECL for the weekend. Perhaps a new thread for that system?

@Wilko

When you live with a plumber although Ppl question our down pipes.
Now you’ll understand the why.

I'm up to 64mm since it started this week and 16mm last weekend. Happy happy

32mm here - will keep the fires away for a bit longer!

Awesome day Wednesday hot humid stormy number of stroms but missed most of it as working all day inside
34mm on Wednesday

Friday night/Saturday another big 36 hours day for Vic with widespread rain and severe thunderstroms with heavy falls best storms in northern Vic just amazing wet active week 25-50mm again for much of the state.

Clears Sunday
Another front/trough with a band of rain and thunderstroms Monday night and Tuesday across the state

Then Thurs/Fri/Sat next week looking hot and humid with widespread severe thunderstroms more heavy falls and rain

What a pattern, why can all late springs be like this active few weeks ahead

LOVING IT
